From what I have heard, the Ranco is basically the same as the Johnsons, while Herpstats and Helixes are slightly more advanced.
Hey Crazy4Herps - Appreciate the honesty. I talked to the supplier here for Spyder Robotics basically advised that the Herpstat will suit all my needs for a single setup unless I wanted my night temp to drop off at all. So looks like I'm going to go with the basic Herpstat to control my UTH. $165 shipped to my door taxes in. Should have it in a couple days if all goes well. I can't see myself spending that much each time I aquire a snake though. Will check out Boaphile to see what they have for a future setups. My wife is going to have a fit as tubs start filling the basement! hehehe
